Hey all,
Been reading Tom's and Anandtech for 2-3 years now and have 2 custom built systems under my belt now. I built a new computer last November and have had trouble with it ever since. Basically the problem is random, unexplainable crashes. Have tried running numerous diagnosis with no luck. CPU and GPU were overclocked, lowered them to prevent crashes but it doesn't seem to have helped.
To explain it simply, when playing a game, watching tv, surfing the net, or after leaving it alone for 10 minutes it will randomly crash. The crash occurs 2-3 times per day. The crash is characterized by freezing of all programs. The HD LED light that indicates use is always solid with no flashes. Approximately 30sec to 1 min later the computer reboots itself.
Nothing I have done seems to help. Please advise.

-AMD Athlon 64 4000+ San Diego 2.4GHz Socket 939 Processor Model ADA4000BNBOX
ASUS A8R-MVP Socket 939 ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 CrossFire ATX AMD CrossFire Motherboard
-SAPPHIRE 100106-RD Radeon X850XT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card
